Gratitude Messages for Teachers

Thank you for the families who have already emailed their words of wisdom, thanks, encouragement and gratitude for the St Martha’s Teachers and Leadership Team. If you haven’t emailed your Words of gratitude yet, could you please email them to elena.razzoli@syd.catholic.edu.au by Monday 24 November.

I will print them and place them in a box filled with Bible quotes, Words of Gratitude and encouragement which will be given to the teachers at the morning tea at our upcoming K-6 Family Mass on Sunday 7 December 2025.

The box with the messages for our teachers will then be kept in the staffroom for the teachers to open and read some words of gratitude and encouragement throughout 2026.
